Now that the book, the prequel, and the movie have all been released and zombie fans everywhere have gotten a taste for brains…well, books…it’s time to meet the author himself. The creative genius behind Warm Bodies, the delightful reimagining of Romeo & Juliet undead-style, Isaac Marion, will be joining GoodEReader for a live Spreecast on Thursday, February 7th, at 9:00pm Eastern.
Marion will talk about his experience in publishing as one of the newly-dubbed hybrid authors, as well as give readers insight into the beguiling characters of R and Julie.
